Default Unidentified vintage components

These components were in a box of vintage resistors. I don't know what they are and where they were used. Can anyone identify these please.

Insulated stand offs and feed through ? used before tag strips the bush TR82 uses plastic items very similar.

I have a couple of the bottom item, which is a feedthrough for bringing out a connection through a metal barrier or the wall of a metal box. It would be soldered in place. I don't recognise the other two.

The top one is a simple stand-off tag connector - a single version of a tagstrip if you like. The spacer will be ceramic. The middle one looks very strange!

Thanks gentlemen. That does make sense. First I thought they were old diodes but they are showing continuity on my meter apart from the ceramic glass 'waist' area.

I also have some of these.

The lower item is probably made by KLG (of spark plug fame) and widely used in oil-filled transformers (Parmeko etc) where they are soldered into the sealed can to form the terminals.

The middle one is of similar application but made of glass.

Feed through capacitors?

These are designed for minimum capacitance. I have just measured a few of mine, and they are all around 4pF.

Insulated feed thru's.
They also made feed thru capacitors that could look very close.
Come to think of it, an insulated feed thru would have a certain amount of capacitance.

Agreed, except to add that it will be a feed-through capacitor, almost certainly of 1000pF (0.001uF).

I seem to recall that the feed-through capacitors have a silver, or silvery, covering over the outside outer surface of the ceramic tube.
If so, as ukcol says, almost certainly 1000 P.F.. Tony
